Snorkeling in Menjangan Island

If you love snorkeling, Menjangan Island is the perfect place to explore Bali’s underwater beauty without needing scuba gear. The island’s reefs are home to an incredible variety of marine life, from colorful tropical fish to delicate sea fans and sponges. The water is typically calm, with excellent visibility reaching up to 40 meters, making it easy to spot marine creatures even from the surface.

Popular snorkeling spots include shallow coral gardens where vibrant clownfish, angelfish, parrotfish, and even sea turtles can often be seen. The gentle currents allow for a relaxing experience, making it ideal for families and beginners. The island’s pristine ecosystem is well protected, ensuring that every snorkeling trip feels like an untouched paradise.

Diving in Menjangan Island

For scuba divers, Menjangan Island offers some of the best diving experiences in Bali. The island is famous for its stunning wall dives, where sheer underwater cliffs drop to depths of over 40 meters, covered in soft corals, gorgonian sea fans, and diverse marine life.

One of the most popular dive sites is Eel Garden, named after the fascinating colony of garden eels swaying in the sandy seabed—also one of Cisca’s favorite dive spots. Another highlight is the Anker Wreck, a mysterious 19th-century sunken boat that has become a thriving artificial reef teeming with fish and coral. However, due to its depth of around 35-50 meters, the Anker Wreck is suitable for experienced divers only. 

With water temperatures ranging from 27 to 30°C year-round, diving in Menjangan Island is comfortable and enjoyable for all levels. The island’s protected status within Bali Barat National Park ensures that marine biodiversity flourishes, making every dive an awe-inspiring experience.
